LG CED-8080B Problems

On Mint (42.42) this hardware seems to have some bad firmware. Others
report a similar problem and yet others say they have no problem at
all. If I knew how to obtain an update to the firmware and how to
install it, no doubt it would all work! The problem is only for
writing TAO. DAO seems just fine.

Bill Unruh (unruh@physics.ubc.ca), posting on comp.os.linux.misc in
January 2001, had the same problem with a 8080B compatible and
mentioned that it works okay in DAO mode but not TAO. This is expected
to be a transient problem as the driver catches up with the drive.
